Scoltawarra Gap is a quiet mountain pass in the West Donegal interior, where the road winds between low, rounded hills and vast peatlands. The landscape here is open and rugged: wide moors, dark peat loughs, and long sightlines towards the Derryveagh mountains. Due to its remote location, an almost complete silence often prevails, broken only by wind and water. The pass forms a natural passage between the higher plateaus around Doochary and the valleys towards Gweedore, offering a fine glimpse of Donegal's unspoiled interior.
